New racks for their gondola's so twin tips could fit now, I'm so sick of yuppies saying theirs a rack on the outside you didn't need to bring your ski's in here. Plus they got like 6 more inches of snow looks good for next weekend.

I remember I went to killington last year and it was my fist time riding a gondola and I didnt know why my fujas werent fitting in the rack thingy so I brought them in with me, I thouhgt I would be the only one doing it to, but there was another kid on that had twin-tips in there with me, so I wasnt lonely

Trick is to shut the door yourself as soon as you get in with your crew...

the k1 fits if you seperated em, the other one doesn't they just fall out, or almost do like mine. they still shoved 8 of us in when we had like 4-5 people with twins.

You can put twin tips in gondola slots if you just put one in then you but the other in facing the same dirrection.

yeah i heard about that a couple of days ago. it was a piss off holding them in the gondola though, they would hit the ceiling and youd have to put them in an angle, they were smart now

what you do to make it so there is lees people in your gondola is you just take forever putting your skis in the racks and you trip while getting in then nobody has time to get in after you so they go to the next gondola

i remember when i was younger with my friends on the skyeship, when we'd be approaching the midstation and we didn't want anyone else in there with us, we'd take off our jackets and wrap them around our poles and put helmets on them and take up space to make it look like someone else was there. didn't always work, but there was a few shining moments. either way it made for a fun experience

deam but it'll prob be a bit more crowded now cuz if u can fit that many more pps in each gondola (8 rather than like 4-5) there'll be that many people more on the hill. w/e at least we dun have to screw around with our skis anymore on the ride up. fuckin' yuppies
